There doesn't seem to be a clear cut best catcher right now (Unless you have 96 Mauer). I've been using the addley from prospect collections but I'm not hitting very well with him. I have scary Gary, he's good, but it's either a homerun or bust with him it seems. How is Gary Carter?
Cracked out switch hitting ballplayer.
Didn't think about that. When you created him did you start with the fielding archetype or contact or power?
I did power, but the archetype thing recommends fielding.
I haven’t had any issues throwing out runners with 73arm strength. I don’t have any fielding perks, just a mix of gold and diamond equipment that gets his fielding / arm up to a respectable level. 123 power both sides and 110 contact IIRC

I am using FOTF Garver. Can’t get him out if my lineup. He hits em far!
There isn't a FOTF Garver. The Rangers is Corey Seager. I'm curious who you actually mean haha.
OP- FOTF Carson Kelly is fun to use, Gary Sanchez collection reward for the Yankees and the Cover Mauer 88. I'll eventually collect them all and grab his 96. I would imagined FOTF Realmuto is also fun to use. His ASG card last year was mighty.
One of my favorite things to do is drink “beverages” and play The Show. One of the things I should not do is drink “beverages” and post!!
I meant Sean Murphy. I think. You know, the FOTF catcher.
Hahahahahq, no judgment. For some reason I play better after a few but the same cannot be said of my posting. So you like Murphy?
-
Sanchez right now though considering getting Posada that’s the one position I’ve struggled finding an answer for since there isn’t a clear cut catcher right now
-
I have Adley closing in on P5. Love this card.
I keep FOTF Realmuto on the bench if I ever need a pinch runner to replace Adley or FOTF Bell (also closing in on P5) in late innings or as a potential ghost runner in extra innings.

I'm using my CAP, need him for my all Texan team. Not a good catcher from Texas at this point.
Napoli is actually solid.
Napoli is good but for that team build it's players born in Texas and yes I'm one of those Texas is the greatest country in the world people
Gross lol
-
I have FOTF Murphy, Adley and Gary Carter.
I prefer Murphy or Adley. I absolutely suck with Carter.

Realmuto has been really nice for me so far mate - also Sean Murphy
-
88 mauer has been pretty good, and the gold joey bart and gold jason castro are fantastic super budget options
-
Every year I make my CAP my catcher & this year is no different. You just can’t beat it…Switch hitter, Every defensive attribute in the high 90’s, contact 100 & power 112.
-
What you will spend on equipment for a CAP catcher far exceeds what you would have spent on for a a CAP at any other position due to extra equipment. Hell for what you would spend in the mask alone you could have available for a FOTF or prospect collection catcher.

Not true…It adds like 15k

If you can stomach the conquest map don’t sleep on piazza

Yeah buddy, his swing is surprisingly good for the this year. Last year I couldn't hut anything with him. His fielding is weak but I feel like base stealing is scripted anyway
-
You’re so on point. His swing is totally better. When he gets a 99, which is inevitable, and they keep his swing the same, he will be the best catcher.

I'd rather have 99 posada or Fisk

I love posada. That being said, his collection card last year was a glitch and his ss card was “so so”. Interesting to see what happens this year.

Adley, can't lose using him.
-
Offline Bronze Gary Sanchez has been ridiculous.
Everyone else i have is a letdown so far, so I put him in and he hits a lot of HR's. -
After grinding my catcher for only a few hours, enough to get diamond, 101/103c 100 /97p with 107v. None of his attributes are maxed out, he also has 61 speed. Can easily reach 80.
Even come end game, my catcher will max around 115c 110p 115v with 80f 80s and 80bl. There will not be a better catcher than this unless they draw a pentagram, kill a goat and summon the devil Peepee Alazar himself.

I've also been using Adley. I used Carter for a bit, he has good power numbers but mostly double for me and a ton of ground outs. His defense was noticeably worse than Adley. I've tried LS Grandal and Perez they were so so but so slow on the bases it was painful. Piazza is similar to Carter for me. Sanchez is really all or nothing. The one I have not tried but have seen do good for others is FOTF JT. He is a really nice cheap option but I'm really focused on using NATs as I need 3 more teams to complete for LS. Adley tight now is probably thebest because he is the most balanced. He has defense, on base machine with a little pop in the bat,not slow on the bases and is a switch hitter. The other guy I really liked that you can get for cheap is LS will Smith. Similar to adley but with more pop and not a switch hitter.
